North Devon, a Paradise for Surfers
7th June 2017

North Devon, a Paradise for Surfers

By Eliot Wren on Local Area

Discover North Devon, a Surfers Paradise, and retreat to The Carlton for stylish comfort

Perhaps one of Ilfracombe’s most prized features is our location.  A coastal town situated in North Devon, we are nestled on the Atlantic Coast.  Surfers come to North Devon to get away from city life and experience some of the best surf to be found anywhere in the UK. A stay in Ilfracombe allows you to avoid the hubbub of larger, more well known towns, along the same coastline but with the same buzz!

Bring your own board, rent everything you need or even learn to surf at many nearby beaches.  With an array of stunning locations to surf, you could easily visit a different beach every day of your trip and take home memories that will last a lifetime.

These are our top 3 surf spots near Ilfracombe:

 

Woolacombe

Just along the coast from Ilfracombe sits stunning Woolacombe beach.  The beach goes on as far as the eye can see, beautiful golden sands stretch on and on.  And the waves?  Well there is a reason Woolacombe is dubbed a ‘surf town’!

Make this your first surf spot when you visit us and you might not want to even try another beach!

 

Putsborough

Putsborough beach, or simply ‘Putts’ as the locals call it, is possibly one of the most hidden of our amazing beaches here in North Devon.  We’ve yet to find anyone disappointed with this beach.  Surfers and body-boarders alike enjoy the rolling waves year round for good reason!

It’s worth going a little out of the way to discover – you’ll be glad you did!

 

Croyde

Croyde is one of those places for which words can’t really describe how beautiful it really is.  Largely unspoilt, there are some local facilities but here you really feel like you could be lost anywhere in the world – and with waves and a beach like this, you wouldn’t even be bothered if you were!

At less than 20 minutes away from Ilfracombe it really is a beach worth visiting if surfing is your passion.  Come and discover why surfers flock to this gorgeous spot.

 

Surf and Stay

If you enjoy a more luxurious getaway than the usual surf break can offer, a stay at The Carlton Hotel provides just that.  Fine food in our brasserie, wind down in our lounge and enjoy a comfortable night sleep in our newly refurbished, stylish rooms.

After a day hitting the surf, isn’t it nice to know that you can simply come back to The Carlton Hotel where you can relax in comfort?

Treat yourself and book your leisure break today.

The Adventures of Ragamuffin
28th February 2017

The Adventures of Ragamuffin

By Eliot Wren on News

A dog friendly night away? We’d like to introduce Ragamuffin, an adorable Collie.

He’s been a guest at the Carlton Hotel several times and we’ve loved having him come to visit. In fact, it’s Ragamuffin’s birthday soon so we’re planning a bit of a party for him.

But, are you wondering how we met?

Here’s his version…

“Well today is extra exciting, we’re going away for the night and we’re staying somewhere special and I think Mum calls it a dog-friendly hotel! Sounds nice…”

Dog-friendly hotel in North Devon

Ragamuffins stay in North Devon doesn’t get off to a good start but when mum finds a much better place – that offers a welcome drink on arrival and lots of treats and space for snuggles – Ragamuffin can finally relax and enjoy his short break. Perfect.

If you would like to find out more about the dog-friendly facilities we have please give us a call on 01271 862446 or email enquiries@ilfracombecarlton.co.uk.

New bedrooms nearly ready
9th January 2017

New bedrooms nearly ready

By Eliot Wren on News

After a busy Christmas we are now spending time putting the final touches to our brand new guest bedrooms!

The Carlton is open as usual and our builders are doing their utmost to avoid any guest disturbance while creating our new rooms. All first floor bedrooms have been rebuilt. New windows and casements are being installed to increase heat retention and keep those pesky seagull (and other exterior) noises down! We’ve taken the opportunity to strip the rooms back to the bones which has allowed for insulation to be improved to the floors and walls – so noise transference is being helped.

Behind the scenes the essentials are in place with independent plumbing, gravity toilets (goodbye Saniflo), new controllable electric lighting, fire safe bedroom doors with locks and a spy glass for your added security.

Inside the new individually designed guest rooms those thoughtful touches continue. Starting with brand new beds covered with new linen and colourful throws. Bedside cabinets to match the built in wardrobes. Within each wardrobe you will find a safe (big enough for your laptop), personal bar, iron and ironing board and a hospitality tray.

Each new room has a quality tiled bathroom to match, with new toilet, shower, fittings and underfloor heating.

You can set the mood in our new bedrooms with lighting that you can control from your bed and blackout curtains to ensure a great nights sleep.
